Yōkai Ikebana – Art Print by Bao Quyen
Inspired by Japanese yōkai folklore and the art of ikebana
This artwork is an original illustration by Bao Quyen, printed on high-quality textured paper (270g) for a refined, tactile finish that enhances colour vibrancy and delicate linework.
This illustration merges two iconic elements of Japanese culture: ikebana, the traditional art of flower arrangement, and yōkai, supernatural beings from Japanese folklore. What appears at first as a harmonious floral composition slowly reveals hidden spirits—playful, mysterious, and slightly mischievous—woven between the stems and petals.
The structured elegance of ikebana meets the unpredictable nature of yōkai. Flowers bloom with intention and balance, while small creatures peek, hide, and inhabit the arrangement, blurring the line between beauty and the supernatural. The piece reflects the idea that the unseen world quietly coexists with ours—present in nature, in silence, and in imagination.
Both whimsical and eerie, this artwork celebrates contrast: control and chaos, refinement and mischief, delicacy and power.
Perfect as a statement piece for lovers of Japanese mythology, folklore, and contemporary illustration, this print invites you to look closer—because something might be looking back.
